Scientists achieve record efficiency for ultra-thin solar panels
A team co-led team by the University of Surrey has successfully increased the levels of energy absorbed by wafer-thin photovoltaic panels by 25%. Their solar panels, just one micrometre thick (1μm), convert light into electricity more efficiently than others as thin.
Offshore Wind Farms Could Interfere With Radars
Environmentalists and marine professionals recognize a significant limitation with offshore wind farm expansions. Namely, ships are experiencing more frequent collisions. Wind farms are interfering with vessels' radar systems and creating safety challenges.

-Honda targeting carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities by 2050
Should More Land Be Dedicated to Renewable Energy?
Renewables like wind and solar require at least 10 times more land per unit of power than coal or natural gas-fired plants. Yet, many people consider them more sustainable than fossil fuels because they don't directly emit greenhouse gasses.
Waterotor Unveils "The Big Cajun," a 20MW Hybrid Ocean Energy-Generating System
The 20-megawatt Big Cajun is the first hybrid ocean system that simultaneously extracts energy from slow-moving water and wind. This worldwide, patented technology utilizes unique rotor stacks in any water speed and conventional wind turbines to extract power.
Evaluating the Growth Trajectory for Electric Service Vehicle Adoption
The electric service vehicle market lags behind overall EV adoption. Vans and trucks accounted for just 1% of EV sales in 2020, raising the total to 400,000 globally.
Q CELLS and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin achieve record efficiency of 28.7% for 2-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell
